Hi Jonathan, One more question: I'm also trying to use an "a tempo" at the end (right) of the spanner. If I use a hard space there, it won't align properly with the note it is attached to. Any advice on that would be appreciated. Can you use a hard space and then compensate by increasing the

Hi, I'm doing an arrangement of a song, where the different stanzas in different parts have different dynamics. I know I can mark an entire stanza as forte, piano etc., using the trick int he snippets repository, but how do I do it in the middle of a verse? I've tried adding New_dynamic

conditionally eliminating lyric extender

Hello all, I want to [automagically] conditionally eliminate lyric extenders when (1) the end of the syllable which has the extender is after [i.e., to the right of] the melisma's last note; and, (2) the distance to the following syllable is less than the minimum extender length [plus

Dot getting divorced on dotted note

I'm setting a piece in three voices (guitar arrangement of Schubert's song Ständchen). The problem is that when the top voice has a dotted chord that results in the notes being offset left/right of the stem, this results in the dot on the note in the bass voice getting separated from the note.
